Pancake Syrup

[GFreeMO]

I am allergic to pure maple syrup from the tree. It gives me hives. That being said, I need to find a pancake syrup that is gluten free. Karo has one called Pancake Syrup and their website says that all of their syrups are gluten free. It does list artificial flavors though. Anyone use this or know of anything else that I can use?

Thanks!

I love molasses or honey on pancakes. It's a different flavor than maple syrup, but any of the "pancake syrup" type products will have artificial maple flavoring.

Molasses is a great idea! Thanks!

What is the ingredient in the fake syrups that is bad for us? Is there hidden barley or something? Wheat would have to be listed so what makes them gluten-ey?

Nothing makes the ones that say gluten-free on the website gluteny. Some people don't like artificial flavors or artificial anything.

I always heard that the fake syrups were a no go as far as being gluten free. Are Aunt Jemima and Hungry Jack etc.? gluten free? I don't care if it's artificial, I just don't want gluten.

I just looked at the Hungry Jack lite ingredients. Not a lot of natural stuff but nothing jumps out at me that it contains gluten.

According to my "Is that gluten-free?" app, aunt jemimas are listed as gluten-free.

Thanks for posting this. My budget doesn't allow the pure maple syrup anymore, even though I really like it. It's nice to know the log cabin is safe. WooHoo I can have pancakes and waffles for supper again.

I've been eating Log Cabin with no problems and I am super sensitive with gluten. It's oky doky.

How about Steen's 100% Pure Cane Syrup? This is what I use, but of course it is made locally in Abbeville,Louisiana. DOn't know if you can get it where you are from. The website is www.steensyrup.com I find it much better tasting than maple syrup.

Another alternative to syrup is sweetened condensed milk or just plain butter and sugar. This is what I grew up on to use with pancakes. We would make really thin pancakes, top with butter and sugar and roll inot a log. This was called crepes.

I use jam. Way better than syrup!

My grandmother would make 'homemade syrup' with water and sugar and boil it until it got a little thick. I always loved it.
